The tracking test was held at Sycamore State Park in Trotwood OH, a beautiful park about an hour South of the Robert's Centre. Cover was mostly shoulder high goldenrod and other similar vegetation. It was sunny with a heavy dew and no wind. Temps were in the mid 50's. Zephyr ran his hour and 20 minute old track in 7 mins. Other than the quick stop at a tree that he swore his tracklayer (Cat Wiel) perched in, he was dead on the track. He loves to track and is fun to run, so as long as his tracking partner (me) can keep up with him we'll continue chasing those ghosts.
